Fucking cars. Especially Subarus and Toyotas, which have an unpleasant tone. They beep every button push on the remote, so unlocking all the doors is two pushes BEEP BEEEP BEEEP BEEEEP! Then people push the lock button more than once as they leave BEEP. BEEP… BEEEP!
My car doesn’t need to beep. I’ll turn around and look at it and see the lights flashing.
Also, my fucking dishwasher. If I program it to start in 5 hrs when electricity is cheap, and then add something, I have 3 seconds to add it before it soft cancels the cycle and I have to push a button to make it continue for some inexplicable reason. If I close it while it’s in this mode it beeps constantly for 20 seconds. If it wasn’t bolted down everyone in the family has had a time when they would have taken the opportunity to throw it out the door.
I can also relate to the chewing; if I’m eating it covets other’s noise and I survive, but I can’t stand hearing other’s mastication. Also breathing heavily. A family member has asthma and fucked up sinuses and refuses to see a doctor, so they just mouth-breathe panting all day long (and don’t have their phone silenced either).
